Oh I've got a surplus of apples from the orchard trip now and although I already filled you with sweets here is an interesting and tasty combo you might not have come across on your own. A layered SWEET POTATO & APPLE BAKE that is a casserole-like dish that I like with the Golden Delicious apples. The fresher the better I always say. This one just speaks fall Yall. Enjoy.
INGREDIENTS: 1 large (1/4 lb) sweet potato 3 medium Golden Delicious apples 1 teaspoons lemon juice 1 large leek 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened 1/4 teaspoon Salt 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper 1/4 cups apple juice 2 tablespoons unseasoned bread crumbs 1 tablespoon brown sugar DIRECTIONS: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and thinly slice sweet potato. Peel, core, and cut apples into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place apples in bowl and add water to cover; add lemon Juice. Trim off top of leek 1 inch above white; discard top and root end. Cut leek lengthwise in half and clean well under running cold water. Thlnly slice leek crosswise. Drain apples well; pat dry. Grease 1 1/2-quart casserole with 1 table- spoon butter. Place one third of apples in bottom of casserole; top with one third of leek slices and one third of sweet potato. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat to make 2 more layers. Dot top of casserole with 2 tablespoons butter; pour apple juice over all. Cover tightly with lid or aluminum foil and bake 45 minutes. Meanwhile, to make topping, in small sauce- pan, melt remaining 1 ta- blespoon butter; stir in bread crumbs and brown sugar until well combined. Uncover casserole and sprinkle with topping. Bake uncovered 10 to 15 minutes longer or until potato slices are tender. Serve immediately. Yield: 6 Servings Categories: casseroles, vegetables WHY GOLDEN DELICIOUS YOU ASK? These are excellent for fresh eating, in a salad, in pies or for baking. Late season apple with a crisp, rich flavor - the taste is sweet, fragrant and juicy. They also store one to two months in the refrigerator. It is a superb eating apple. It is very good for baking, holding its shape, and also excellent for use in salads.
